Zones in the bathroom

There are 3 zones in each bathroom, based on the distance from a water source. See illustration below for zones in different situations:

Within these zones, electric heaters can be suspended if they meet the appropriate IP code. IP codes range from IP00 to IP68, with IP00 providing zero protection and IP68 providing the most protection.

How do the zones work?

Zone 1 is a wet zone, where an electric heater must be very well protected against water. A minimum IP code of IP67 is required.

In zone 2, there is a risk of contact with water. A minimum code of IP44 applies here.

In zone 3, there is actually no contact with water, but the heater can be exposed to condensation. Therefore, the minimum IP code of IP21 applies.

	Zone 1	Zone 2	Zone 3
IP21	x	x	v
IP44	x	v	v
IP67	v	v	v

For all our heaters we indicate their IP code: it can differ per unit. Even within our bathroom heating range there are different IP codes, and the various models may therefore not always be hung anywhere in the bathroom. Please pay attention to this when installing.

What else do you need to look out for?

In addition to the correct IP code, it is also important to ensure that a heater can never be operated from the shower or bath. So pay attention to that too when installing your new bathroom heater.
